In this featurette posted by the New York Times, actors from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes receive ape-like movement training near the film set in New Orleans. Their instructor is the man who has cornered the market on ape movements, Terry Notary.

From CineFix: Planet of the Apes is a movie that spans decades (as well as the whole next stage of primate evolution). But even if you've seen every movie from 1968 to Dawn of Planet of the Apes, here are some things you (probably) didn't know. These 7 facts will arm you with lots of trivia to show off about the films, from monkey makeup to mo-cap suits (yes, we know apes aren't monkeys. But "monkey" is a much funnier word). What did you think of these bits of Apes trivia? Did you know any of them already? Are you going to show off some of this trivia to your friends in line to see Dawn of the Planet of the Apes? What's your favorite movie in the Planet of the Apes franchise?" Feel free to answer any of those questions below.
